Man United: Pundits discuss future of Dean Henderson
Dean Henderson has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that he may have to consider his future at Manchester United if he continues to be overlooked for the No 1 spot. The Sheffield United loanee has enjoyed another standout campaign with the Blades, keeping 11 clean sheets.

That has now seen Henderson fire back indirectly, stating he has a big decision to make on his future.
"I think it's clear for everyone to know. I want to play for Manchester United and England," Henderson told TV3.
"It feels like I always hit a brick wall. Maybe I'll get the opportunity [to play for Man United], maybe I won't, then I'll have to look down a different avenue.
"The fans have to remember what he's [De Gea] done for the last nine years - he's been phenomenal.

"He's probably been the best player at United for that time period. He should get another opportunity."
"I'm a young lad. I'm working hard. I'm a fan of the club and I want to play for them. Hopefully I have a career at Man United like David de Gea has."
Last week, Solskjaer took the chance to laud Henderson for the progress he is making and reassured Henderson that he will eventually be United's first-choice keeper.
"It's a different job to be playing for Sheffield United and for Manchester United. He's got different roles and for me, the two years he's had have been fantastic development," Solskjaer said.

"He's had to play with men, he's had to play against men, he's played in the Championship, and plays in a team that play fantastic football and exciting football.
"And as the stats show he's proved worthy of quite a few points.
"He's learning all the time, he's a passionate 'keeper that wants to be the best, he's developing, he's got good coaching there and, I've said it before, one day he'll be England No 1 and Man Utd No 1 and it's up to him to keep developing."
Sheffield United have reached an agreement to extend Henderson's loan until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old is attracting interest from Chelsea, who could be set to ditch Kepa Arrizabalaga.
